Luminicsbulbs.com / LTB Motorsports

sometimes its good and bad to buy online. it's good when you're satisfied with your purchase and you don't have to send it back. it's also good that you can find the best deals on different products. its bad in a sense when you have to hastle to return the item and wait for your refund. i don't really like returning stuff to online retailers. i think its too much of a hastle to wait for your refund. i hate knowing that i send the product to a retailer i've never done business before. who knows if they are going to keep the product and keep the money as well.

In my previous entry, i bought a pair of bulbs from Luminicsbulbs.com and wasn't satisfied with my purchase. i notified luminics about returning my product. they seemed surprise that i was satisfied with my product. according to there website they are the #1 aftermarket bulb. i told him i was going HID and decided not to use the bulbs. so he told me to send the bulbs back with the receipt and they'll process the refund.

on monday i went to the post office to send the bulbs back. i got tired of waiting for people to buy them on supraforums. so today i called them up and they said i will able to get a refund tomorrow or on friday. so hopefully i can get that refund. i'm testing them to see if there customer service is up to par. and if it all goes well i'll refer them to other people.

yesterday, i received a package from the LTB Motorsports. i actually ordered a pair of Piaa Super Silicon Wiper blades. my current wiper blades are wearing out, especially the passenger one. the passenger one has some of the wiper blade wire coming out.

anyways, when i opened the FEDex package i found out that they only shipped only one blade... I was quite disappointed yet again. i called them up this morning and asked about my order. the guy said they ship seperately... it doesn't make sense to send stuff like that seperately. 2 wiper blades? give me a break! doesn't that cost more money to the retailer. he told me it'll be delivered either today or tomorrow. so i gotta look out for that as well.

ebay auction update...

i lost the auction... it went up to $260! i hope i can find another one on ebay or on supraforums.

luminics verdit...

so i've had these lumunics titanium white bulbs since wednesday and i have to say im quite disappointed. dont get me wrong they are really cool looking. they have a nice silverish white. the down side is that they aren't that bright enough. i have to use my fog lights that have the stock bulbs to brighten the road. without my fog lights its like im driving in the dark. my eyes feel strain from focusing on the road to hard.

i thought there was going to be an improvement but there wasn't. i might as well just do a HID conversion than play around with damn bulbs. oh well.

oil change time again...

note to self... changed oil @ 96080 miles.

racelegal @ the Q

its that time of the month where all the race fans gather to watch drag racing at qualcomm stadium. i decided to meet up with a few friends of mine. albert, one of my friends just got his supra back from Sinful Enhancements. i must admit they did a killer job, from white to quicksilver. the transformation is just simply amazing.



he parked his car infront of one of the booths... a lot of car enthuists were checking his ride. a photographer guy took a few snapshots of his engine bay, probably for the racelegal website. i chilled and talked to his bro andrew "the skyline fanatic" and vick "the red MR2" guy. this was actually my second time attending this event. its quite fun just watching the cars race and just chilling with homies.

ebay!

i've been looking around on ebay to find some upgrades for my ride with my limited budget. i was thinking about upgrading my bulky 4 spoke steering wheel to a sleek 3 spoke one. i stumbled and found a celica steering wheel. i made my bid and hopefully i can get it for the asking price on the supra forums.

the wheels on the supra go round and round...

ive been doing a lot of thinking about what rims to get... i remember a few months back i was considering a set of 18" Volk Racing GT-C in black with a chrome lip. But i've noticed that a lot of Supra owners have them. a guy had them for sale and gave me a great deal on them. but i had second thoughts.



now im looking into getting a set of speed star SP1 rims. these wheels look awesome. they're available at the tire rack but won't be in till april. so i have some time to set some money aside and save up for rims.



What do you guys think? Leave a comment and let me know which wheels do you like better!

luminics lights

today , i received my order of luminics bulbs that i ordered late monday afternoon. to my surprise i recevied to pairs of Titinium White 9006 Bulbs instead of just one. im must be lucky or something. i might either sell the extra pair or send them back and exchange them for a different one to replace my fog lights.

the lights look great in the garage. however, i wasn't able to drive around with them. i'll have a chance tonight after work. I'm quite excited to see how they look in the evening. They aren't HIDs though but it'll do for now. all i can say is that they look way better and cooler than the stock lights. i just hope they last longer than the PIAA Super Plasmas i bought for my corolla years back. I kind of regret buying those PIAAs for my corolla. Damn PIAA lights are quite pricey. The Luminics Buls were probably half the price!

GOOD NEWS!

I received a letter yesterday concerning the accident. My insurance has concluded that the accident is 100% the other driver's fault. I was quite excited and relieved after reading that letter. I knew i had to be patient with the process. I hope i get my $500 deductible back...
